Guide to the Warning
Symbols
The warning lights and audible alarm
may indicate a system malfunction.
Check the lights frequently, and
respond properly as soon as you see
one go on. These lights could save
you from a serious accident.
When multiple
warning icons are
shown on the instrument cluster,
they will appear at rst and then
minimize. When minimized they
will be represented in the active
warnings area of the display (see
Driver Performance
Center on page
3-30 for
details). A triangle represents
a warning
registered and a diamond
represents a check message.
Do not ignore a warning light or audible
alarm. These signals tell you some
-
thing is wrong with your vehicle. It
could be a failure in an important sys
-
tem, such as the brakes, which could
lead to an accident causing death or
injury. Have the appropriate system
checked immediately.
WARNING!
Check messages are provided to give
the operator additional information
regarding systems that require
attention due to a system malfunction
and/or operating conditions that may
hinder safe and proper performance
for the vehicle. The system will emit
a chime to alert the operator that a
message is appearing on the cluster.
Some messages can be managed by
the operator while others may require
an authorized dealer repair.
